Loving the USA trip so mutch already

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. We’re loving it so far!

[@jenniferfaux-campbell8175]

It's so great to see your excitement at my local amusement park. I grew up only 20 minutes from Knoebels! It's wonderful to see the park receive the recognition it deserves!

[@collectivismkills]

Between Shawn’s screams of joy and Charlotte’s face of mad shock and horror whilst they rode Phoenix is probably my favorite TPW moment ever. 😀❤️😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was a brilliant moment!

[@collectivismkills]

It sure was!

[@FigureSkatingBeauty]

I put my 58 year old mother on Phoenix and she made the same face. she also needed to sit down after Impluse, and you bet your behind we bought that photo ahahhaaha

[@LordMalice6d9]

Pennsylvania has probably the best collection of amusement parks in the United States.

[@brycefourn2001]

Same with Ohio, Florida, and California. :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

There’s some brilliant parks here!

[@maartenkruijff4293]

Best independent parks in the US 100% for me Ohio still tops it with both top tier cedar fair parks within driving distance👍

[@FigureSkatingBeauty]

I am SO fortunate to live about 30 min from Hersheypark! I've been going since I was a kid, and the boyfriend and I often go to the park for a few hours after work in the summer since we have season passes!

[@LordMalice6d9]

@FigureSkatingBeauty I live in Cortland, NY. So I still have to drive at least 3 hours if I want to go to Hersheypark.

[@ToliiRH]

Charlottes face at 8:55 is brilliant!

[@x.elliee__x]

honestly 🤣🤣

[@morbvsclz]

This park looks great and truely special. Never having been to the US, this one appeals to me so much more than anything Six Flags has to offer. To me it even looks like I would enjoy my time there more than Sea World, Universal or the Cedar Fair parks. Ride line up is only a secondary concern to me and it's more a about how the park atmosphere feels.

[@davefroman4700]

Six Flags is a run by a bunch of MBA's. They are excellent at extracting value from their guests, but really crappy at creating value for their guests.

[@brybryguy6314]

Well here is the thing where they are at now in Pennsylvania, my home. They are literally in a mecca of theme parks within decent driving distance. Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, one of the flagship parks of Six Flags, Dorny Park, cedar fair Park ( its kinda meh ), Hersheypark. In my opinion one of the best line up of coasters in the US. All these parks are within about and hour or so drive from eachother. We have alot within this region.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We love it here

[@CoasterVet]

@@brybryguy6314 PA also has to have one of the best collections of historic flat rides anywhere.

[@rikspector]

Shawn and Charlotte, Being Family owned and and having home made and classic rides makes this park really feel non-commercial, here it'd not only about the money. I'm so happy you both had great weather and a really good time AND, it's only day2!!!! Cheers, Rik

[@joehill6916]

Never heard of Knoebel’s before, but it’s definitely on the list now - seems like a great independent park that really takes pride in its rides and values its uniqueness.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a beautiful place

[@missmoonpenny9369]

5 out of 5 for just pronouncing the parks name correctly 😂 thank you for the marathon of travel and park videos you are throwing at us here! so much respect! it is so much work!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much!

[@jackbluepirate87]

0:16 Knoebels is the American Blackpool Pleasure Beach. *CHANGE MY MIND*

[@wolfpackgaming1383]

Fun fact, the reason why you have to pay extra for the haunted mansion is so that kids won’t get bored, climb out of the cars and vandalize the attraction. That’s why unlike so many other classic dark rides around the US there’s no chicken wire.

[@redline682]

If you guys missed the Bumper Cars, you need to make sure you try them out next time. They're old-fashioned cars that really slide around--always leaves a smile on your face!

[@JudyWW]

We have been going to Knoebels for over 35 years and I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Your commentary and enthusiasm from both of you really captured Knoebels. It makes me want to jump in the car and go there. Thank you for bringing this video to us. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Continued safe travels and enjoy life at these beautiful parks!

[@elainedenton4852]

We’res my seatbelt ? There isn’t one Charlotte 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Brilliant 😂

[@leilasuley]

Everything is always 50 times better in USA, they know how to make everything bigger, bolder and better! 🇺🇸 wish the uk would follow in there footsteps

[@quintinrice2733]

Hello Charlotte!!! I love your enthusiasm and big smile. You and Sean have seen so much around the world. The fact that you both still get so excited for these US Parks is a true delight!!

[@microfighterz]

The world needs more parks loke this. Feels like it would be a great visit even without going on the rides.

[@T_rey421]

Here is a fun fact about Twister It's modeled after the original Mr Twister here in Denver at the original Elitch Gardens. It even had a golden bolt on display from the original! We have a version of it still at present-day Elitch Gardens but much less taken care of. I definitely liked Knobles Twister better and it was a unique experience riding this after growing up on Twister II

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@shelleyl9368]

Great vlog! Charlotte’s face at 8:55 had me and my mum in stitches 🤣 she’s so adorable lmao!

[@imlewisblackman]

“We’ve got some more ‘wood’ to be riding Charlotte” 🙈🤣

[@k9feces]

A great value for a family especially if some members don’t go on rides.

[@CatsnCoasters]

As soon as I saw impulse I thought "nice bit of gerst steak"...to be told its not a gerstlauer blew my mind! Love the feel of this iconic park & Benjamin in front of you on Phoenix certainly knows how to ride a coaster! 👍 😆

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great ride and so much smoother!

[@souldiscovery1238]

think you mean 'Gerst-Ache' 😄 🤣

[@CatsnCoasters]

@@souldiscovery1238 no no...I mean gerst steak! That's what I call it anyway. 😆

[@IamJeffBrugger]

I’ve been going to Knoebels since I was born. I’m a little spoiled living about a hour away. I love that you guys are showing it off & enjoying the park!!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a special park

[@martenclark9728]

What a fantastic park , I'd even say my favourite so far ,so the rest your visiting will be judged against this one. Such a nice location and the museum was impressive , as you said all theme parks etc should have something similar . The woodies always impress me at these american parks , such vast structures and so impressive to see . Glad the food was good and fairly priced , makes a nice change to see. So far so good 👍 cant wait to see the next park 😁

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@drummerboy2215]

You can hear the Berni 107 Organ playing on the Carousel 53:41

[@jonny-b4954]

Twister's 2 lift hills actually use the same chain too. Pretty cool. Only a couple out there that do that. Another enjoyable video as always Shaun.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Brilliant!

[@norochmusic]

this looks great, are you guys planning on picking a top 3 or ranking them all once you get back? just started playing parkitect myself so getting some inspiration from the parks, great vids!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We always struggle to pick our favourites now as there’s so many awesome rides!

[@jackkilman8726]

The Phoenix was my childhood coaster back in its original location in San Antonio in the 1970s. I first rode it on my 6th birthday before the days of height restrictions. My older sister panicked thinking I was going to fly out and put her arm around me after the first airtime hill. I, on the other hand, had the time of my life and instantly became a coaster addict. I was12 when it closed, and for me its closing came to represent the end of my childhood. I've truly never ridden another coaster that comes close to it.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing your memories!

[@easynhonest]

Yes, Knoebels is an awesome retirement home for classic, vintage and rare amusement park rides, many which are "Best in The Country". A Rock-O-Plane and a flying coaster (Kennywood Kangaroo like) flat ride are rumored to be in storage waiting to be resurrected in the future.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We loved it!

[@traceybeerling4776]

Hi shawn and Charlotte Wow what a beautiful park. I remember when you came last time shawn. Love the heritage of the park it's lovely to see. Thanks for sharing this wonderful Park with us. I'm so pleased Charlotte enjoyed it as well. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for joining us!

[@Leles73]

Oh Charlotte had me in stitches when you both went on the Phoenix ride as her face looked so shocked of how fast it was going, I couldn’t stop laughing. Good old Charlotte ♥️♥️

[@moonwillow_6180]

I’m visiting Knoebels later this year, so excited!

[@kevinseymour8793]

I love these US parks that don't have such a higher profile as the familiar names/brands. My kind of place for sure. Adored the Fries 🍟 Hat 😂

[@paranormal_countess]

Loving this trip already & only 2 days in. Thanks for an awesome vlog with all the povs. Absolutely loved twister looking epic. Can’t wait for the next one. Be safe much love Lisa❤

lovely to be watching you guys again on your trip. Have a great one. knoebels looks everything you imagine an American amusement park to be. It really does look like the perfect family day out with a really good mix.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a beautiful park

[@tylercollins3130]

This park looks amazing! Been wanting to go. Looks like reputation for Phoenix is warranted. Loving the trip! Keep up the excellent vlogs.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great park!

[@randyguess3124]

I rode that wooden roller coaster during its last year of operation in San Antonio in 1980. I love knowing that people are still riding it and that, it is even famous now. My favorite coaster ever, since I can't do spinning and twisting rides due to the motion. Thanks for featuring it.

[@Muswell]

At last - on ride filming. It makes such difference to my enjoyment of your videos.

[@yellow_gacha7152]

I love this park. It certainly breaks the mold when it comes to amusement parks. Having P.O.V 's makes for good entertainment as we can see yours and Charlotte's expressions. Keep those vlogs coming . ❤❤

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We loved it!

[@CharlieFarrow07]

Flying turns, Phoenix, and twister look amazing and they would be something I would want to go on if I had the chance. Can’t wait for Hershey Park tomorrow guys!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We love this classic park!

[@tonyjohnson8604]

Twister is definitely my favorite so far this road trip!!!

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

What a wonderful looking park this is. That indoor caterpillar ride took me right back to childhood fairground trips. Love the look of everything about this place. Your vlogs always give us trip inspiration and ideas. Knoebells is firmly added to the list.

[@AudreyMealiff]

Same, the TPW trips have given me and my boyfriend so many tips and ideas for trips!

[@FigureSkatingBeauty]

Knoebels being described as "proper American" hit it right on the money! I live about an hour and a half from the park and unfortunately didn't get to go until my teen years! I love it so much, though, and especially enjoy bringing the kids' grandparents since it's free parking and admission. So happy you enjoyed the park so much!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We loved it!

[@mimi0424]

Im 47 & live in Delaware. We had a cabin near here in the family when i was growing up. Now my kids grew up here. Our daughter's are 25 & 26..but our son is 9 yrs old & has been here twice a year since he was born. My parent's take him & they stay at the camp ground in a cabin. Or what Knoebels calls a cabin 😂😂😂. This brought me back. We would get a bracelet to ride all we could & we'd go from i think like afternoon til evening. The only place we could roam around & meet up w our family & nothing bad happened. Not sure w the way of the world if that's possible anymore. We'd have to meet up every hour just to make sure we were ok! Phoenix was my favorite ❤ The food was delicious! Pierogies..Fries & Ice Cream were our faves. We are going to take our Grandson who will be 6 next year. Great video. I subscribed. Can't wait to see your adventures ❤

[@theactualjavening]

I predicted this park for your next park and I got it right?!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Love it here!

[@Dionysoshaman]

I'm really glad that you guys had a good time. It's such an overlooked park. Also it's good to know that people visiting from other countries look at parks that we have here in the same manner that I look at parks that are found in other countries, which is with a sense of awe and adventure . If you're ever able to come here to the states once more, please let me know, because if you love classic haunted houses/ghost trains then you need to ride Trimpers Haunted House in Maryland and another haunted mansion in Delaware, which happens to be a 30 minute drive from each other. And Trimpers is not just older than Knoebels, but it's also longer and in my opinion better as well. The Haunted Mansion in Delaware is just as good as Knoebels! Haunted Mansion . I'll even give you room and board over a weekend. I'm being 100% serious with you P.S. I've been having a pretty difficult time today but after I finished this video moments ago it helped me pull out of a nose dive and for that I just wanted to say THANKs friends!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@PaulAdler11]

This park is amazing

[@jillianfaux2032]

Thank you for sharing your experience with Knoebels! I grew up 20 minutes away and you brought back so much nostalgia for me while watching this video. Thanks for sharing it and your enthusiasm for the park!

[@mkt1847]

This looks like a park I really want to get to now. I love these smaller parks with old school perks and a great feel to it. It kind of reminds me of when I went to Holiday World last year which has free parking and free soda. This takes it even further with free admission and located literally right in the middle of a neighborhood.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We loved it here!

Looks a stunning charming park, especially the flying turns ride.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a great park!

[@davetherave9976]

i can remember back in the late '70s when the Blackpool Grand National had only handbars - we used to put our bags and rucksacks in the car with us and so our legs were bent under the seats holding them in - once when going over thr bunny hops the seat lifted up and got disjointed through to the end of the ride ...

[@danny.ray101]

20:35 duuuuude, is this the stage from the famous mad drummer video? Omg, I just compared with the video and it has so many similarities 😱

[@xtlm]

If you ever make it back again, you really really really gotta go on the flyers. It's the best ride in the park believe it or not! Somehow it wasn't even shown in either of the vlogs lol Great vlog! Always fun to see new reactions to my favorite park.Charlottes face after the Phoenix was awesome

[@blinard1]

Absolute perfect example to any park why it is so important to allow POVs to established Theme pqrk channels. Its makes it 100x more enjoyable and 1000x more watchable. Nothing duller than listening to someone explain how good the ride was with no pov. Watch qnd learn Merlin!!!!

The phoenix was there before the antique cars by around 5 years or so. I went to knoebles in May and the Phoenix and Twister both felt better than the year before I really like the park because it’s so laid back. I also like how they have a lot of wooden coasters,

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@gametime2473]

One of the craziest rides I have ever had on a coaster was Twister at night in the pitch black and it was raining. The coaster was absolutely hauling. The whole ride was a blur but absolutely amazing. It speeds up a LOT in the evening. The Larson drop tower at Knoebels is really great too. They are my favorite drop tower manufacturer.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Twister is brilliant!
